[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, please dispense with the bizarre/antiquated notions that (1) childcare expenses are somehow uniquely entailed upon mothers, rather than upon parents jointly; and (2) working out of the house means not raising your child. Both are offensive and frankly don't hold up to reason. [/quote] Who are you tell her the notion is bizarre or antiquated? We are talking about marginal economics, here. She's the one who's expendable with her career, obviously, or the family wouldn't be running the numbers. The only question is whether the utility of remaining in the workforce is greater than the utility of staying home with a baby. They've already decided that Dad isn't going to be doing this. So, yes, the childcare expenses in this case are, in fact, "entailed upon mothers" (whatever that means). I won't touch the working out the house means not raising your child issue. That's a red herring.[/quote]
